Tartan Pond. Because of the Values of <br />PFOS found in fish in these waters, the <br />Minnesota Department of Health is <br />extending "do not eat" fish consumption <br />advice to these bodies of water. More <br />information can be found here. <br />The Co-Trustees (MN DNR and MPCA) have released their recommendations for the Conceptual <br />Drinking Water Supply Plan (CDWSP) for the east metro including Lake Elmo. This work began more <br />than two years ago after the State of Minnesota and 3M $850 million settlement regarding PFAS. <br />Of the three options in the report, the Co-Trustees prefer Option 1. Below is a summary of Option 1 for <br />Lake Elmo. This option does not provide for any new municipal wells in Lake Elmo but has a placeholder <br />for a connection to Woodbury so Lake Elmo can purchase water from them to meet future needs. In <br />addition, Option 1 does not include bringing water or a treatment system to all of the Lake Elmo <br />neighborhoods located in a Special Well Construction Area. If the private wells in these areas fail, <br />property owners are faced with installing deeper, more expensive wells due to being located in proximity <br />to contaminated groundwater. <br />The MPCA is accepting public comments on the proposed options until December 10 here
